    TBH, when I read multiple sources reporting that the Department of Justice tried to convince Ferguson police not the release the robbery video, I did think, "Greeeeaaaat, now they're lending credence to right-wing conspiracy theories..."

    Another black man shot to death by police in St. Louis. WARNING: This video shows a guy getting shot to death.



    And of course, the police lie their asses off about it:

    Yes, the guy was belligerent, but he didn't get as close as they say and he doesn't appear to have anything in his hands. If he has a knife, it couldn't be a big one. The call to the police said that the guy had a knife. They could have tazer'd him. There were two cops. If one tazer didn't work, a second probably would have.

    It's obvious that officers used excessive force, but it's also obvious that black young man was asking for it.

    When police officers have guns drawn and pointed at you, you better comply to their demands instead of acting aggressive and moving toward them.

    From police's point of view, a man acting erratic possibly under the influence... with possible concealed weapon was called out over the radio... you show up to the scene... adrenaline pumping... with the suspect acting crazy and moving toward you... It'd definitely possible adrenaline and fear could alter your perception and think that you're in danger. Or it could be that the black dude gave a couple of racist cops good reasons to just kill him.

    Anyway, based on just that video, I don't think police deserves 100% of the fault. However, yeah, do they really have to shot him so many times?

    Fuck you. Gently. With a rusty chainsaw!

    The Police are not judge jury and executioner dumbass. They are supposed to apprehend suspects, not execute them.

    There are plenty of videos of cops shouting "stop resisting, stop resisting, why are you reaching for my gun" when the person they are beating to a bloody pulp is lying prostate on the ground. Maybe you should educate yourself

    No on all counts.

    No.

    I don't need to read anymore. It's not the cops' job to interpret who deserves to die.
